Bang –

The door to the reception room opened, and Evan led Gary out of the reception room in stride.

The secret deal has been made!

However, looking at the expression of pain on the face of the old viscount who was delivered to the door, it was obvious that there was a heavy hemorrhage, which was not much different from a real meat cut.

It's not that Evan doesn't miss his old feelings, but as the captain of the ship, he can't help but give an explanation to his subordinates who have used their lives to carry out the mission. And the guy who can entrust someone to do things is poor for money?

It's the way to go!

If you change to someone else, even if you come to it with a large amount of gold ticket, you may not pay attention to this kind of troublesome matter involving local power struggles.

After weighing, it is basically impossible for the political enemies of the viscount who may be behind this incident to be in person. Chasing pirates by himself was only on official duty, and afterwards, the local nobles wanted to trouble their own captain, who had not had that long hands.

The most important thing is that His Excellency the Viscount is very sincere, and he even has that kind of good thing! Evan is very happy with the deal!

"That's right... I almost forgot. Suddenly thinking of something, Evan turned to look at the Viscount.

"What are you doing, my family has been hollowed out by you!" the old man raised his head vigilantly, clasped his hands around his chest and subconsciously made a defensive posture, and said angrily with a dark face.

"Hahaha, Your Excellency the Viscount looks like this, I won't dare to come next time. The public is public and private, and I have come to visit His Excellency the Viscount, but I have also prepared a gift. As he spoke, Evan had already handed the old man a gold-encrusted walnut box.

"Is this...?"

The viscount was a little surprised, and Evan actually prepared a gift for himself?

With his status and age, it is difficult to see any jewelry, goods, BMW beauties, but the gesture made by Evan made him very comfortable.

"Open it up and take a look, you'll love it. ”

The old man didn't care much about the contents of the box, and was about to ask the housekeeper to put it away, but he didn't expect that Evan was very confident in his "gift", which made him a little interested.

For a while, even the "pain" of being cut temporarily forgot about it.

Click-

The gold-encrusted box is beautiful, but I don't know if it's in vain. Reaching out and lifting the lid of the box, the box was covered with a layer of blue velvet cloth that was resistant to bumps, and in the middle of the velvet cloth lay a bottle of red potion as a magnificent glow.

The first impression of it is beautiful!

The old man and the butler behind him looked obsessed at the same time, and the sight of it was like seeing the most precious treasure in the world, and even the precious ruby was less than a tenth of it by its appearance.

Smack-

Suddenly, the old man's eyes flashed, and he reached out and closed the lid, and took the whole box in his arms like lightning.

He even cautiously looked left and right to make sure that there was no one else at the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aven... Is this the kind of thing I guessed?"

At this point, the old viscount's address to Ai Wen has changed subtly, and even his tone is hurried and faintly flattering.

"It's the kind of thing you think. However, this is my trophy, only this bottle, just use it yourself, don't tell anyone. Otherwise, we're all in trouble!"

"I understand, I understand. Although he was slightly disappointed to learn that there was only this bottle, he also knew that he couldn't be too greedy, and it was already a great blessing to be able to enjoy a bottle of this kind of thing, and he didn't dare to ask for it anymore.

It's no wonder that the old man behaved like this, the box contained a bottle of "Flawless Holy Blood" that he had accidentally obtained from the "Bloody Hand Gang" stronghold. I hadn't figured out what to do with it before, but now I just gave it to the viscount.

Because at that time, the operation of pretending to be "Zorro" to go to the bloody hand to help sweep the autumn wind was interrupted by the "murderer" incident at the beginning, and this bottle of "Flawless Holy Blood" was also the only bottle in his hand.

It has the miraculous effect of restoring human body functions and prolonging life in disguise. Although the use is narrow, it is only useful for old ordinary people and low-level mortals, and the magnitude is not very large.

But for the viscount who is already an old man, it is a treasure that cannot be changed! "People have no money and have not spent it" is an unimaginable pain for people who have not experienced it...

If it weren't for the fact that the thing the viscount gave at the end was so much to his liking, he might not have been willing to give away such a good thing.

Seeing off Ai Wen and his party, the old viscount stroked the wooden box in his arms, and his heart was hot, and the very bad mood that had been caused by the hijacking of the "smuggling boat" and the subsequent heavy bleeding was also swept away at this time.

"Help me get Lord Nabry here, the fastest. ”

"Yes, sir!" commanded the butler to leave.

A moment later, it was the same living room.

The consul, Viscount Andrea, and the commander of the city guard, Lord Nabry, sat on either side, but between them stood a young man who was somewhat at a loss.

The two of them stared at Graeme at the same time for a long time, and finally it was the Viscount who spoke first:

"I remember that the captain of the third squad of the City Guard is temporarily vacant, Graeme, you will be the captain of the squad for the time being. Sir Nabry, what do you think?"

"Your Excellency, I think this appointment is very reasonable. Moreover, I think that the quality of the wound medicine at the 'White Stone Pharmacy' is good, and the city guards can appropriately increase purchases and maintain a long-term cooperative relationship. ”

"Well, so be it. The viscount waved his hand and clapped the board directly.

"Huh?"

The dazed Grimm didn't say a word, and when he walked out of the viscount's parlor, he had already been promoted from an ordinary soldier to the captain of the city guard.

......

By the time Evan and Gary returned to the Conch, a carriage had been parked under the heavy escort of ten armoured aristocratic private soldiers.

Seeing the arrival of Ai Wen, who was wearing the military uniform of the school officer, the leading steward hurriedly walked a few steps to meet him.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Captain, I have been ordered to hand over this item to you, do you need us to carry it to the ship?"

Evan was not surprised by their arrival, which was part of the deal with the old viscount. So he nodded, not bothering the second master: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Soon, the planks on the "Conch" were lowered. Under the command of the first mate Borg, who rushed over after hearing the news, several noble private soldiers worked together to carry a heavy "cargo" on the carriage that was more than two meters thick and tightly wrapped in canvas.

Then the men did not say anything, saluted, and hurried away.

"Mr. First Mate, go and call our boys back quickly, we have a new mission!"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain!" Borg saluted and arranged for the sailors who remained to go ashore to gather all the seamen who had gone to "repair" back, after all, it was a short stopover, and no one dared to go too far.

"Gary, come with me to replace this 'baby' with our 'Conch'. ”

As he spoke, Evan lifted the canvas on the "cargo", revealing a wooden statue underneath, more precisely, a ship statue!

It was a beautiful woman with a slightly blurred face, and her clothes fluttering like the wind and like a light veil.

In this era, "ship statues" were commonly found in merchant ships, warships and even pirate ships as a kind of spiritual sustenance and ship decoration for sailors. Usually based on animals, totems, and gods, they pray for the protection of the gods and the sea, and are also the embodiment of the collective fighting spirit of the crew of a boat.

However, the vast majority of "ship statues" are actually just decorations, and the psychological comfort effect on seafarers is far greater than the actual effect. The original ship statue of the "Conch" is the same, just an ordinary wooden sculpture.

However, the one sent by the Viscount just now is different! The treasure at the bottom of the box pressed by the nobles for hundreds of years naturally has its own special features!

Statue of the Ship: Monsoon Goddess (Sorcery Creation): A constant passive effect for ships, up to 3o for downwind ships and up to 2o for upwind ships, and zero for windless ships.

The effect is simple and straightforward, yet very practical.

And there is no need for any consumption, as long as it is placed on the bow of the boat, it can be passively effective, and the preconditions do not rely on the oars or waves, as long as there is wind...
